Dr Kim has obtained his Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from the Centre for Applied Colloid & BioColloid Science (Swinburne University of Technology) in Melbourne in 1994. Following his Ph.D candidature, he accepted a position as a post-doctoral fellow for 2 1/2 years in the area of rheology and polymers. He continued his research work as a postdoctoral research fellow for both the Rheology and Material Processing Centre and the Polymer Technology Centre at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (R.M.I.T). He then worked as a senior research fellow at Kwangwoon University in Seoul and has also worked as a lecturer at the Yeonsei and Samyook Universities in Korea.  Dr. Seungrok Kim then worked as a Thermo Haake regional manager in Asia-Pacific till the beginning of 2002.   Dr. Kim established MCIK in early March of 2002. This has been sought after his determination in applying his profound MC knowledge into real cases with regard to a wide range of rheology- and material characterization-related scientific and technological problems.
